The story

In 1862, Anna Leonowens and her son Louis sail from London to Bangkok, where Anna is to serve as teacher for the children of King Mongkut. Kralahome, the Prime Minister plotting to usurp the throne, attempts to prevent her arrival by using his powers of illusion to make it appear the ship is being attacked by a giant sea serpent; however, Anna, Louis and the crew manage to fend off the apparition by whistling a happy tune. Arriving in Siam, despite being promised her own house outside the palace, Anna finds she has been denied it.
